That's part of my hatred of nerds, at the moment.

another entry in the book of dmdr's eggcycling tales!!!!!!

I took my new bike off road for the first time yesterday, which makes this the first time I've been cycling off-road since, uh, probably 1997. My bike's mostly a road bike but has a steel frame and fatter tyres than typical for the type so I figured she'd be able to take a bit of a caning. I was ultimately a little disappointed though since the fuckin headset, aka the thing that holds the handlebars on, came loose. Fortunately one of the first accessories I bought was a little toolkit so I was able to tighten it up on the spot but, uh, not good. Time will tell if this is a defect of the bike or if it just came from the shop not quite tight enough (hopefully the latter).
Other than that, it was fun! I feel a bit beaten up today since off-road is a completely different kettle of fish; riding on even pretty steep roads is nowhere near as hard as trying to beast it up a rocky path, and I was only in the park for about half an hour before I pussied out. Another thing that was interesting is the trail grading estimates in the parklands are accurate for bikes; I used to go walking a lot a few years ago when I was underemployed and could go off on adventures without having to think too much about it, and if you see a sign saying 'intermediate walk' it means 'your grandma could easily do it (even if she's dead)' and 'easy' means 'has fuckin escalators and coolies to carry your stuff for you', while if you're biking intermediate means intermediate and easy means still pretty tough if you're going uphill. Anyway, no more intermediate trails til I toughen up a bit is what I'm saying.

Today it's raining so I did the bike mechanic thing. My brake pads were rubbing against the rotors which was loud, annoying, and made things harder than it should be so I sorted those out (it's fiddlier than the video I watched promised but not too bad). I also got the gear changes working properly again -- the cable was a bit loose so I tightened it up (easy once I figured out what a 'barrel adjuster' was. I am a retard btw) and now it's running nicely, I took it for a test ride despite the drizzle and there was no reluctance to change gears, even on hills, and lovely silent running too, so I'm quite pleased with myself all told.

It's definitely partially the fault of the hacker, but Gun Media also owns some of the responsibility to service a product you paid for that is, at the very baseline, usable. Over a week is a really long time to drop the ball like this.

I havent been playing much of anything recently. Too much irl stuff I'm going through right now. How good is it?

Just noticed my left eye is literally situated on a higher level than the other one, might just end it tonight fellas tbh

Looking at yourself without a mirror flip is literal suicide fuel I swear to god

mrthejoshmon,
it's horrible. Whatever it was for, he was up to no good.

Does the article let you copypaste snips of text? That's what I do here sometimes with links.

What if we kissed in the pedophile bunker ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

xeepeep, I think you could have chosen some other topic to shitpost. This is a real world event and it is very disturbing.

mrthejoshmon, if it's fine by you, then yes. However, you were really concerned that this happened close to you, which why I thought jokes would not be appropriate here. Also, I saw animals on the picture, so I suspected some really horrible things may have happened there - beyond even pedophilia.

Yes, photos, cameras, candy, studio lighting, a bed, rope and chains, etc. you know, gardening tools
